Big muscle furry man, or distinguished travelling gentleman.... thank god for multiple saves

Honestly the fact that they didnt show much about Ryuka might be the “hook” itself. There’s definitely more going on with him.

2:59 “not being able to marry illuminata was the biggest sin of rune factory 4” THE WAY I FELT THAT OOF

Yesss I am in LOVE with the older looking bachelors!! They don't look like children!! My prayers have been answered :'D

illuminata AND bado not being candidates was the biggest let down I ever had playing rf4

I love most of the designs and I'm so glad there's older looking candidates

There's another character with amnesia? Gosh next thing we know there will be a whole town of people with amnesia 😂

8:11 I can't believe Nagito Komaeda is in Rune Factory.

Putting my bet in now, because Lucas was introduced alongside the succubus, he's definitely a vampire

Ryuka, in term of designs, makes me think of Leon, my hubby. I gotta say, pretty much all of the bachelors looks pretty interresting.

Ryuka/Lyka really reminds me of Skye from Harvest Moon DS Cute. White hair, mysterious, initially mistook him for a woman... If he does turn out like Skye, I'm not complaining lol

This is definitely my favorite lineup of RF Bachelorettes. None of the other RFs had losers but so far RF5 has nothing but winners. Illuminata was a sin yes but so is Murakumo's sister :(

Running theory: that carpenter boy is actually jesus christ

Ryuka is a thief! He stole my heart 💓

Murakumo is my top choice for this game 💕 I’m so glad we have a choice who looks much different from the other bachelors. That’s some good stuff 👌👌 A rough looking guy who actually has a heart of gold and goes above and beyond to make his guests happy? Yes pls!!

(Ludmila is shown) me: oh some sort of witch that deals with herbs and potions, that seems interesting Wilder: anyway Ludmila is a succubus me: ...go on~

Literally everyone, I love literally EVERY SINGLE CHARACTER so far!! It's gonna be so hard to pick just one for my main game! But multiple saves, here I come!!

After bedding a horse, its time to bed a wolf. Dont take this outta context, i know someome will. Lol

Blacksmith, Detective Boy, Wolf Girl, Ranger Girl? and the last guy. There may be more? But those are the ones that stood out to me the most that I would want to marry lol.

Picking a marriage candidate out of this group will probably be the biggest challenge for me. All of the designs are amazing and the fact that we have so many characters that hold a mystery makes me want to pursue them all! Rune Factory (usually) never disappoints with marriage candidates! It is so exciting to think that it is coming out so soon along with a new Story of Seasons! 2021 is giving me hope lol

I'm glad we got a Bado type bachelor! I loved Bado from RF4

Wayyyyyyy better designs than olive town by far!! This could actually be ok without 2D portraits because it looks that good so I’m excited!! there’s such a good variety of characters 🥰🥰🥰 can’t wait to get my hands on this for sure!!

Cecil reminds me of Kiel. He's the 1st marriage candidate that caught my eye.

I’ve never played a Rune Factory game and this makes me want to get one 😭

Definitely interested in ryuka. I really hope he turns out to be a phantom thief, that would be so cool!!

the fact we probably gotta wait until fall-winter 2021 for this kills me lol like really kills me

Im planning on getting both Rune Factory 5 and Story of Seasons Olive Town (name too long I forgot), but I got to say that the marriage candidates for Rune Factory are much more diverse in terms of appearance and personalities compared to SOS. Which i think is really nice! I need to see all of them in-game cuz I can't choose! They are all so interesting >_< Can't wait for this game to come out *also hoping for gay marriage. please please please* XD Thanks for the video as always Wilder! You are my go-to for rune factory and story of seasons content ^_^

I wonder if ryuka is gonna be important in the main story? I think he’s my favourite design! I’m so excited for this game ahhh

So um, remember when I said the purple theme might make this either dark or royalty? Some of those backstories...man. Missing parents, I'm guessing the reason he grows distant from his brother is because he gave full attention to finding the parents. Another character with amnesia!? Now that is interesting. The last time that happened a dragon had taken their memories. Lucas does look proper though...maybe royalty will play into this at some point? Hmm... These back stories all have the potential to take a wrong turn really fast. That could be the reason for the purple theme. Who knows, maybe the game will be like those where everything is fine and dandy but then goes downhill after a few hours of playing?

Im so excited for this!! I can't wait to meet all the characters. I usually pick one that I want to go for and a lot of the time someone else steals my heart once I really get to know all the characters! Right now Ryuka is my favourite, especially because of his butterfly aesthetic 🦋

"Not being able to marry Illuminata was one of the biggest sins of Rune Factory 4" Huzzah! A man of quality!

Alright prediction time: So for the guy at 8:08 who's name I have no idea how to spell, I have a feeling he's a werewolf/has animal ears or something like that? I mean for starters he has a hood covering the top part of his head, and that day/night personality change could be due to usual werewolf trope thingamagigs

It's really hard to choose which bachelor or bachelorette to choose, they all look so amazing. I like how Rune Factory isn't going the supper cutesy route with their character designs like Story of Seasons did (not that I hate it or anything). I can't wait for this game!

Well the new girls and boys have me even more interested! (Also I almost knocked my phone into my open washing machine trying to pull the video up as fast as I could.)

Just hearing all their backstories makes me hooked on all of them. They are well written and have very good designs.

12 people? Wow... I love the connection between and to everyone already! I hope they all get a good story! There is so much potential! Thanks for the great work!

I can't wait for this game to come out 🥰. On the RF official website Lyka is the proper English name. You can see it below his Japanese name.

Thank you for always keeping us in the loop! Ahh this is SO exciting!😆👏👏💖💖

oh man i think a lot of the cast looks so interesting im kinda a little invested in all of them but fuka and lyka are my fave girl and guys atm!

I can't wait to see the dialogue between Reinhard and Lyka if Lyka really turns out to be a thief!

I'm not sure who to choose yet!! The designs all look so cool and there is still so much mystery to the backstories. Guess I'll just have to wait until I play the game~

I mean, as I said in the initial marriage candidates video, picking a character named Rhinehart always seems to work well for me. X) I still love his design and am curious to learn more about who he is and why he is there. Admittedly, though, I really love all the candidates- they seem to well-rounded and designed! My tops aside from Rhinehart are definitely our generous inkeep and fellow amnesiac, though. X) I will definitely be getting to know all of them better.

Honestly, these bachelors aren't catching my attention😒 , but maybe that's because I have a specific type 😏. I like the tough but awkward type (bonus points for blushing), so Dylas was a shoo-in for me.😁

At 4:36 the Kitsune girl who stand beside Murakumo caught my atendtion imiately and im really like realllyyyyy dissapointed and upsad that she is not in the list of mariable character...Sign... Another Hot Inn manager we couldnt marry....Shino..Lin Fa.....Whyyyyyyy..... T_T. And btw nice video~ i have been waiting your vids on RF5. Im hella hype atm for RF5

Love the info, love your commentary, keep up the great work! Cecil's name in the box there is like "se shi ru" if that helps anything, I've put a lot of time into learning my hiraganas and katakanas and get super pumped when I can read anything now! :D Older bachelors are yessssssss, handsome werearnimal guy gives me some Bado vibes which is a big YES PLEASE

Glad I rang the bell. Happy to see you discussing it.

For the first time, in any Rune Factory game, I have no idea which guy I wanna go for! I like almost all of them so far! I normally go for the quiet, broody guy. This time.... I don't know!!!

I thought of tharja from Fire emblem as well. You are not the only one lol.

Aww I love Ludmilla’s(spelling???) design but her personality seems ... eh. The last girl and guy seem really cool though

There’s so many good marriage candidates this time around! I hope they give us enough save slots because I’m marrying everybody lol. My favorites are definitely Murakumo, Martin, Fuka, Ryuka, and Ludamila.

Never played rune factory before, but it seems so good! Like story of seasons and fantasy life together.

The characters definitely look interesting. I cannot wait to play! I can't really make my decision now, so I'll wait until I actually play the game xD

There's still a bit of a difference in design from the promo art and the in game portraits but not as much as in RF4, I think.

As someone who likes older bachelors... I'm a happy bean. owo But man even the younger ones're all good looking. I am so excited for RF5. Also on the cool mysterious guy at the end... Butterflies're often symbolisms of death in Japan. So maybe he's a spirit or a grim reaper, or?

Reinheart has my whole heart and i don't want it back i looked up some japaness translations online and there was somehting like 'if you were this flower it will enhance your cutness' and i was like 'marry me marry me marry me'

I’m torn with these Bachelor choices! I love them all!

Love all the character designs... absolutely blown away

@Wilder Hey Wilder! I’m one of your biggest fans and I just love your content going over Story and Rune Factory! And I know this might be sudden but can you please go over Roots of Pacha, Witchbrook and Super Zoo Story please? Roots of Pacha is harvest moon sim set in the Stone Age and there you basically start a agricultural revolution by taming wild animals like bison and developing technologies like irrigation wells while with Super Zoo Story it’s a sim where you run a zoo full of animals while on a island full of townspeople to befriend and maybe even get married! Lastly Witchbrook is yet another sim where you are student at a wizardry school and new info has been revealed not so long ago! I figured that you might be interested in hearing about other Harvest Moon/Rune Factory like games that were pretty bold with the direction! Oh I also forgot to mention Seablip which is a pixel pirate RPG and lastly, most of of I just love your channel and please continue to make great content like always! Thanks for reading and you just got a subscriber! 🐮🐷🐔🍀 P.S. Would you rather have a Sci Fi Rune Factory or a Greek mythology Rune Factory? Sorry bout that! LOL!

Looks like I’m saving up my bday money for rune factory 5 next year🤗😂 I’m soooo excited I’ve played all the others and this one looks amazing

リュカ is pronounced Luka, ルドミラ is pronounced Ludo Mira, フーカ is pronounced Fuka, セシル is pronounced Sesil. Japanse pronounces foreign words weirdly, one gets used to it after a while. Thought that this might be of some help.

All the characters here look very VERY interesting! All of them have a peculiar backstory! I'm very intrigued and hyped!

I’m so happy that this video popped up in my recommendations! I’ve never heard of this game before 😭 But it’s my type of game! It reminds of Dark Cloud 2 but with farming and dating aspects. I can’t wait to try it! Any tips for a newbie???

Mr Amnesia is my favorite so far. Reminds me of Klaus from SOS 1.

Can't believe nobody is talking about this. BEATRICE IS CLEARLY VENTUSWILL'S DESCENDANT. The horn and feathered wing motif, the nearly identical hair and eye color and style (when comparing against Venti's human design), the mystery and connection to the kingdom of Norad, there's genuinely NO way in my mind this isn't a coincidence. The designs are too close.

can't decide between ludmilla and beatrice, probably gonna marry the both of them oops

Wow!!!🤩so many info about Rune Factory 5 Thank you for create the video🤗

I just hope the character related events doesn't trigger at random like rf4 o hated spending literal in game years waiting for those events to be ables to propose

All these cute girls with interesting personalities! Succubus lady currently got my heart with Lucy as a close second >w< Life is good for this lesbian who doesn’t mind having to play as a boy XD But will admit, might actually play as a girl to chase the travelling gentleman, such a cool concept to have amnesia just like the MC!

Martin and Cecil remind me of the 2 kids (Roy and Cammy) in Rune Factory kids. There color schemes are so similar and Martin is even a blacksmith, just like Roy’s mother

Ludomila, Fuuka, Lucy and Beatrice are all fighting for my attention based on design and description. Ok, now that I know RF won't disappoint in the waifu/husbando aspect (as always), I'm interested to learn more about daily activities, exploration, combat and farming. RF4 has my favorite farming system in all the Harvest Moon/Rune Factory series, so I'm hopeful they might improve, or be inspired by that.

Fūka: not furry Murakuma: furry

Lucas and Beatrice are my two favorites I think. I can't wait to actually meet all these characters I think you're right, we have a really good cast here, might even rival Rune Factory 4 if the events and scenes for them are engaging!

I am SO EXCITED for this to be released!!! I loveeeee Rune Factory four games! And nice channel, I really like your content!

not many people bringing up ludmilla? design-wise reminds me of like an older melody so I'm in

There are so many save files im gonna have to keep to romance all of them!!!

I can’t wait for this to drop. It looks great already see 2 potential waifus lol. But seriously I’m impressed. After playing RF4 I always thought these games would be even greater better graphics and bigger open world. I foresee many play throughs

Most diverse list of dateable characters ive seen in a sim game! Sooo excited!

If you guys dunnu who pursue there’s a quiz that recommends who you should go for based on your personality/whom you picked at RF4!

So I would say blacksmith, wolf man, or the succubus I am not decided yet lol mabey that last guy because he’s sounds mysterious lol

Honestly i dont know if i should buy 4 now or wait for 5. I only really liked forte among the available marriage candidates but at the same time ive got nothing else to play on my switch

Rune Factory 5 had been on my radar a lot lately! I've only ever played Stardew and harvest moon/story of seasons, but this game looks interesting. Is it worth getting into the Rune Factory series as well? I imagine it would be but I'd be interested in hearing from fans of the games!!

Imagine the reason Beatrice is being tight-lipped about her identity as a royal is due to the fact she's a member of the Sech royal family and is currently in Norad for diplomatic reasons. 🤔

Wilder! Did you see the portraits of the children? Im very excited for this game!

Lucy is looking a lot like Rosetta. Her being Priscilla's childhood friend while being competitive reminds me of a Mist/Rosetta relationship

I'm so looking forward to this game!! I've played every Rune Factory game thats come out!

Hmmm not exactly sure how I feel about the bachelors in this game right now at least in terms of design… but the bachelorettes are 10/10 welp,,,

The succubus character also gave me some Alicia (RF2) vibes as well. :)

Well I know the three I will go after first, (Knight, blacksmith, and carpenter)

Mirakumo is such a himbo. Can‘t wait to marry him!

Really excited to get on this!

im wondering whether they will SKIMP out on FARMING ( just like in Rune Factory Oceans... where monsters did the work and random crops popped out ) and whether it is going to be open world

Well, I'm pretty excited for this! Rune Factory 5 seems like it's going to place a larger emphasis on dynamic character arcs than the other games, since they're already trying to entice players, so I wonder how much we'll learn about all their intricate quirks and contradictions!

Now that Ryuka’s here I can finally achieve my dream of marrying Kross

I love the older male characters but I would have liked some older fem characters too. But at least they aren't as bad as RF4's bachelorettes. But who am I kidding, I'm definitely going after Ryuka first. The mysterious white haired stranger trope is my favorite, lmao.

AHHH, im so excited. So many cool characters.. Im in love!!

**take out the notebook** Ok, so, marriage order is gonna be... Ryuka, Reinhard and Cecil for the boys... and then Lucy and Beatrice for the girls... noted... XD Anyway I'm very happy that Ryuka is actually a bachelor, liked him at first glace and I would have been pretty sad if I couldn't marry him

6:27 Lucas? Rune factory DS?

The older bachelors!!! I love they 😍😍 I can't wait to play this game... I'm playing RF4 Special right now so I'm ao excited for the new story

I'm thinking Ryuka is like the Iris girls of Frontier (ie a vampire or maybe a dhampyre type). I like him and Murokumo. Although I'm leaning towards Muro right now. Fuuka reminds me of Foss from Tensura manga. I will definitely go for her. Like you said, though, I'm probably going to not know who I go after first until I play the game. Like with 4 I thought I'd go for Douglas more but I am really liking Dylas's personality.

Isn't the main character look like kersley from rune factory tides of destiny
